What to Focus On

  • A differential equation contains derivatives or differentials.
  • It relates a function to its rate of change.
  • Used in physics, biology, engineering, and economics to model changing systems.
  • Order = highest derivative present.
  • Degree = power of the highest derivative after simplification.
  • Degree is only defined when the equation is polynomial in derivatives.
  • Linear: all terms in y and its derivatives are degree one and not multiplied.
  • Non-linear: contains powers, products, or non-linear functions of y or its derivatives.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The degree of a differential equation is simply the highest power of the dependent variable or function.

All first-degree differential equations are linear.

When forming a differential equation, differentiate only once regardless of the number of constants.
